The griffin is a monster that most is commonly depicted with the body of a lion and the head, wings, and sometimes front claws of an eagle. (Variations do exist, however, with simply winged lions often being considered griffins, or other kinds of birds being combined with other kinds of cats.) The griffin is one of the most widespread and oldest mythical creatures.

Gashapon is any toy (or sometimes other items like keychains or coin purses) obtained via capsule machine. Most prominent in Japan, gashapon (the term can refer to the machine itself or the toy that comes in the capsule) can be found anywhere from malls, to train stations, to even the side of the road in a suburban neighborhood.
Jersey Devil, Monster in My Pocket, Series 4 (Super Scary) by Matchbox
3.5 (6 votes)
Series 4 of the Monster in My Pocket line was the company’s first drastic change, with slightly larger figures, and painted elements, instead of the charming solid colored figures. Each figure was one color, with two elements painted, showing a total of three colors. Because of this, sometimes I feel like the detail of the actual figure is sometimes lost.

Review by Griffin, originally posted on the Dinosaur Toy Blog.
Monsters in My Pocket was a toy franchise that started in the 80s that consisted of a series of small, rubber figures. These figures were each only a few inches tall and could each come in a variety of solid colors.
